Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students will learn the habit of writing down daily homework/ project assignments as well as keep track of what they have completed and still need to work on. The planners would also help in listing their words for the week for homework vocabulary study. The planners would also help establish a home-school connection because students will have the responsibility of sharing their student planners with their parents.

The students will gain study skills by using these student planners and gain responsibility, communication, and work-study habits that will help them succeed in their academics.

They will help our environment by using these planners and not using excessive paper. Keep our world healthy, and use less paper!
